<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulation (EC) No 1881\/2006 and its numerous amendments set maximum levels for the following contaminants in foodstuffs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Mycotoxins: Aflatoxins, Ochratoxin A (OTA), Patulin, Deoxynivalenol (DON), Zearalenone (ZEA), Fumonisins (FUMO), Citrinin, Ergot alkaloids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Plant toxins: Erucic acid, Hydrocyanic acid, Tropanic alkaloids, Pyrrolizidine alkaloids, Opioid alkaloids, THC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Metals and other elements : Lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, inorganic tin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Halogenated persistent organic pollutants: Dioxins and PCBs, Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Contaminants linked to transformation processes: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 3-MCPD and glycidol fatty acid esters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Other contaminants : Nitrates, Melamine, Perchlorate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This regulation has undergone major changes in recent years, so the European Commission has decided to repeal it and replace it with EU regulation 2023\/915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are the changes brought about by this recast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Cadmium: extension of the current exemption for malt to all cereals used in the production of beer or distillates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Most of the cadmium remains in these residues, so the cadmium content of beer is very low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • PAH: exclusion of instant\/soluble coffee from the maximum level for food powders of plant origin for the preparation of beverages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • According to the analytical data available, a negligible quantity of PAHs is found in these matrices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Melamine: addition of a maximum level for liquid infant formula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Codex Alimentarius has adopted a maximum level for liquid infant formula, which the EU has accepted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The rules have been made easier to read: there are fewer footnotes, and a “note” column is now included after the maximum levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Increased references in footnote (1) referring to Annex I of Regulation 396\/2005. Only fruit, vegetables and cereals were listed; nuts, oilseeds and spices have been added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The maximum levels have not been changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This regulation will apply from 25\/05\/2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
